Version Control question

I wanted to post a question to see if I understand version control
correctly. When you delete a document from a document library it deletes
all the old versions as well?

When you delete a document in a document library with version control turned
on is there any way to save the old versions or access the old versions? We
have a high security doc library but we don't want people to be able to
accidentally delete an item and us not have backup.

I understand that we can use security to keep people from deleting but some
specific people need that function. We just want to protect ourselves in
case we need access to it again or accidentally deleted it.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Paul

There was a great article on MSDN magazine recently which explained a
"recycle bin" functionality for document libraries
